My "Avocado Hand and Body Cream" freshly made. The green colour is from the 12% New Zealand avocado oil - which is green! That stuff's so cool. I've never used it before but it was $6 for 250ml at the supermarket so I thought I'd give it a go. This is only my second batch of lotion and...

Just thought you might be interested in some picys of the creatures around my place. No deer, but some cute little froggies, colourful koi & goldfish, and one puddy tat getting in a quick nap before her afternoon siesta. :D We have a lot of frogs (Western Green Tree Frogs, commonly known as...

Just curious if anyone has used Range Products in Perth, WA (Australia)? It seems like you need to buy in bulk to get good prices so I'm a little reluctant to try them...

I would like to try making lotion from scratch so have been reading up on recipes and tutorials... and now I'm confused! :? Some instructions say to heat the water phase ingredients separately to the oil phase ingredients and then to combine them all once heated/melted. Some instructions say...

Aussie Soap Supplies gave me a small sample bag of pink bentonite clay beads a while back and i have used them in soap a few times, however, I cannot get over how it makes soap look like it has the measles - all those little pink dots. :? The blurb suggests they can be used in scrubs...

We have had a run of cool to beautiful days lately but just in the last couple of days, and today especially, it has turned to summer here in Perth! It's 36C today (97F), quite low humidity and hardly a breeze. We have had the air con on all day and haven't been outside for more than about 10...

A few months ago my partner's sister very kindly bought me an easter egg mould for my soaping. I put it away for using closer to next Easter but thought I'd try it out yesterday since I had some rebatch to use up. I surprised myself that I got it the right colour as I have previously had...

I bought some liquid stevia to try in my lip balms as some of the flavours I have need some sweetening, however, I have no idea how much to use or how to keep it incorporateded in the balm without sinking to the bottom of the jar as it sets. I tried first just a few drops in a very small...

Can anyone help me find Feijoa FO/ EO/ flavour oil? I've googled it silly but can't find anywhere that sells it. All I can find is a couple of websites in New Zealand that have soap for sale which is fragranced with feijoa. :cry: I absolutely adore feijoas and my local "Kiwi Shop"...

This is one I made recently. The cappuccino mica was meant to be non-bleeding however its been a week or two now and I can see it is bleeding into the clear :? Still I'm fairly pleased with it and it smells good. I used a combo of sandalwood, vanilla (with colour stabiliser) and salty...

Finding Wrap for M&P in Aussie + Shrink Film vs Stretch Until now I have been wrapping my M&P soap in cling wrap which is OK but I it's a bit thin and I'd prefer a thicker film with a more professional look. I've been searching the internet (primarily Aussie sites as I'm in Australia) for...

I am curious as to whether M&P base can be made by 'home' CP soapers and how hard it would be to do. I know most people make soap from scratch, or do M&P, or both, but what about making M&P from scratch? Would it even be worthwhile? I am guessing that it probably could be done, but maybe...
